I voted Colorado.

However, Southeastern PA, if it were a state, should at least be up there.  Dems picked up 2 state House seats in GOP-leaning Montgomery County (Josh Shapiro is in nini2287's sig).  Also, Kerry increased his margins in all but one county and Allyson Schwartz won PA-13 with ease I didn't even expect.  I know this is nothing compared to Colorado, but you have to consider the strongly negative attitudes towards Philly's Dem-controlled city government.  The fact that Allyson won NE Philly by 23 points when it has been rumored Schwartz said Street is a great mayor and Katz, who was popular in NE Philly, tore her out in the paper. 

I hope we can keep this going and get a competent Dem mayor, such as Jon Saidel,  in 2007.  It's a crying shame there are bad gerrymanders which the Dems are powerless in NE Philly to take some seats back, but in PA-170 Brendan Boyle will run again and do much better.
